Installing DVL

Installing DVL as a VM is not too difficult if you follow the instructions here

1. Launch vmware fusion and select a new installation. I chose Linux,
and a linux 2.6 kernel.

2. Once you’re in DVL or BT, drop to Console and start making three partitions – fdisk /dev/sda

3.  Within fdisk, issue the following commands to do this.

n
p
1
enter
+100M
a
1
n
p
2
enter
+1024M
t
2
82
n
p
3
enter
enter
w


The w command within fdisk will write your changes to disk.

Do the following to make an EXT3 filesystem.

mke2fs -j /dev/sda1
mke2fs -j /dev/sda3
mkswap /dev/sda2
swapon /dev/sda2


This will make sda1 and sda3 ext3 filesystems and enable swap on sda2.

Now cd to /tmp and do the following.
mkdir boot
mkdir bt2
mount /dev/sda1 boot
mount /dev/sda3 bt2


Next: in the install GUI of BT/DVL, install to /tmp/BT, and select REAL install. That should be it!
